Palin to Keynote Gun and Hunting Convention in Nevada
Sarah Palin, who took a pummeling this week in the heated debate over guns following the Mass Shootings in Tucson, will make a keynote address to a gun convention later this month.

Lessons from a witch hunt
I shouldn’t even feel the need to write this, but alas I must.  Apart from the lessons from the tragedy in Tucson, there needs to be a retrospective of the reactions and the lessons that we can glean from it. A primary lesson is that of media reaction in and around Washington.  CNN in particular is guilty on this one.  They are emblematic of the wider problem.  Within hours of the shooting, CNN reporters began inserting the fact that Rep. Giffords was one of Sarah Palin...

Metaphors Don't Kill People; People Kill People
metaphor: a figure of Speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our god.” Sticks and stones might break my bones but words will never hurt me. ~Nursery rhyme The recent tragedy in Arizona managed to unleash the pundits on both sides of the aisle.

Is the Right Speechless Without Hate?
- Rush Limbaugh show, 1.13.11 (1:30 p.m. EST) It would be one thing if the quote above had simply come from Rush Limbaugh.

How's that for tolerance and healing, Mr. Obama?...
